Article 88
 

End of voting


1. At eight p.m. the presiding officer shall cry out the end of the voting. If some of the electors present at or proceeding to the polling station’s bureau have not yet voted, the presiding officer shall allow them to do so but shall not allow anybody else to vote.


2. The presiding officer shall then proceed to put the postal ballot papers in the ballot boxes, after checking their compliance with the provisions of subsection 3 of Section 73 and that the elector is duly entered in the electoral register’s lists, whereupon the Bureau’s members shall enter the names of these electors in the numbered list of voters. 


3. Upon conclusion of the foregoing, it shall be the turn of Bureau’s members and the polling controllers to vote. The numbered voters’ list must set out the names of controllers not entered in the Bureau’s own electors list.


4. The voters’ numbered lists shall be finally signed by the Bureau’s members and the polling controllers on the margin of each page and immediately below the last name entered therein.
